Critic Reviews
“For The love of reading.”
Reading has been with me when I've been happy, sad, grieving, tired, ill or just relaxing, reading has taught me and comforted me, supported me and healed me.
Daisy Buchanan has written the ultimate guide to all of this. This is a book packed to the brim with the love of books and those who write them. Interviews that actually say something giving the reader insight into why and how we read.
Daisy gives us permission to put down a book we aren't yet ready for even if it's considered the worlds greatest it might not be the right moment for you to read it. She sends us running, skipping and falling into the world of the written word. Where we find the balm to sooth us and the joy to inspire us. Maybe i'll write after reading this book, maybe i'll read one of the the many books Daisy Buchanan recommends in these pages.
I'm so glad I picked up the proof copy we had in our staff room, because my passion, love and belief in reading have been completely reaffirmed in the pages of this more than inspiring book.
